4pot AMG calipers
Hey guys,

I just bought a set 4 pot AMG calipers(C32).
The standard brake rotors that go with them are 345mm if I'm not mistaken.

Will I be able to fit 360mm brake discs with these calipers without any problem or should I stick with 345mm?

I need to know if there are any drawbacks fitting 360mm and if it's possible.

Thanks guys!

/Mike

I don't know if it's possible but they won't improve anything, they will needlessly add weight on rotation. You better install some 340mm or so, 2 pieces rotors. I think racingbrakes has something like that

345mm - the brackets are not "high" enough for 360mm

Thanks Kevo. I'm keeping them in silver, but I'll probably repaint them to get them looking new again

Good to know. Thanks!
The reason why I wanted to check if 360mm would fit was purely for cosmetics.

I think 2 pieces smaller rotors look better than 1 piece bigger ones. Of course 2 pieces bigger rotors look the best. But it's a lot of money just for cosmetics
